X -- COAL-FIRED STEAM GENERATION FACILITY SOL CBD-108 DUE 123199 POC Timothy S. Green, 208-526-9420 WEB: Idaho National Engineering & Environmental Laboratory, http://www.inel.gov/procurement/litco/index.html. E-MAIL: Timothy S. Green, tsg@inel.gov. Established in 1949 by the U.S. government for nuclear research, the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) has expanded its mission to include the transfer of technology to private industry, universities, and other government organizations; improved energy efficiency; non-nuclear energy development; environmental research; and other areas of science and engineering. The INEEL coal-fired steam generation facility is available to private industry, government agencies, and university researchers for the purpose of conducting engineering scale tests. Constructed in 1983, the coal fired steam generation facility at the INEEL offers a one of a kind test facility in terms of its size and operational flexibility. The availability of the INEEL's coal fired steam generation facility is unique in the fact that it provides a cost-effective facility where engineering scaled tests can be performed with the necessary operational and infrastructure support in place. The type of tests capable of being performed at the facility include: 1)Trial burns for emissions analysis; 2)Trial burns with up to 30% process derived fuel; 3)Trial burns of low grade fuels; 4)Process derived fuel manufacture; 5)Alternate adsorbent bed material evaluations; 6)Boiler erosion/corrosion analysis; 7)Boiler scaling; 8)Bag house performance testing; 9)Particulate capture and re-injection. The facility has the capability to perform these tests 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Additionally, the facility has the operational flexibility to add additional sensing equipment and make the necessary equipment modifications or additions to meet specific test objectives. Steam generation facility specifications are as follows:(1)Boilers: 2 Foster Wheeler Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Boilers; (2)Capacity: 70,000-pounds steam generation per hour; (3)Operating Pressure: 150 psig; (4)Bed Design: Bubbling (Limestone) Particulate Control: Pulsed Jet Bag House; (5)Fuel Feed: Detroit Overbed Feeders; (6)Fuel Types: Stoker Coal, Processed Derived Fuel, Liquid/Solid Fuel Mixtures; (7)Boiler Sample Ports: Fuel Feed, Bottom Ash, Fly Ash; (8)Fuel Receiving/Unloading: Railcar or truck. Also available at the INEEL is a cuber system capable of manufacturing a wide variety of process engineered fuels. The system is equipped with a shredder and multiple ports for metered injection of either solids or liquids. The cuber, which is capable of producing up to six tons of fuel per hour, can produce either round or square cubes in a variety of sizes. Additionally, the length and density of the cubes can be designed to meet customer specifications. The cuber system specifications are as follows: (1)Cuber Capacity: Six tons/hour; (2)Cube sizes (inches): 0.75, 1.0, 1.125, 1.25 (square cubes), .875, 1.0, 1.25 (round cubes); (3)Cube Density: 0.9 to 1.4 (Coal reference of 1.2); (4)Liquid Injection Ports: 4 with 2.5 to 22 gallons/hour capacity with a maximum of 60 gallons/hour total; (5)Solids Injection: 1 to 300 pounds/hour; (6)Shredder Capacity: Six tons/hour; (7)Fuel storage: 100-Ton Covered Fuel Storage Area. The facility is fully equipped with a continuous emission control system. Additionally, the facility has a mobile mounted air analyzer for certification of the stack's emission monitoring system that can be modified to meet project-specific requirements. Parameters measured by the two systems include the following: (1)Continuous Emission Monitoring System -- SO2, NO2, O2,CO2, Opacity; (2)Mobile Mounted Air Analyzer -- SO2, NO2, O2, Project specific emissions.
